Introduction: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving intervention and the cornerstone of resuscitation from cardiac arrest and when performed according to the international guidelines has a vital impact on survival of cardiac arrest (CA). The Utstein template (UT) has been used internationally to objectively evaluate different variables of CPR quality and outcome. Objective: Determine outcomes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the form of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge in Maadi Military hospital also to determine adherence to evidence-based CPR guidelines. . Methods: A prospective observational study of 134 IHCA from 1st of December 2012 and through May 2013 out of 3498 patients admitted in the different departments at Maddi Military hospital, using a modified UT. Results: CPR was attempted in 129 cases (96.3%) the remaining 5 cases one of them was found dead and the other 4 were considered futile . CA was witnessed in 124 (92.5%) and monitored in 114 cases (85.1%)
